Solution

The answer to your question depends on the specific details of the experiment mentioned. However, generally speaking, in a mutualistic relationship, both species benefit. In this case, if treehoppers benefit from the presence of ants, it could be expected that their numbers would be higher when ants are present. So, the answer would be a. True. But remember, this is a general assumption. The specific results could vary based on the details of the experiment.
